My earphones came out once before and I have been careful not to leave the vase dangling with my keys. It hold. My feet are old, short and wide with a high instep; finding comfortable shoes is not an easy task. Okay, first let me me say that I already have the JBL Xtreme so I am alittle bias on the JBL brand. They took no responsibility for their poorly manufactured product and their customer service was non existent, though they "sincerely apologized [sic] for the inconvenience. Those were awesome. I quickly researched how to remove the foam from the insole, and got to work. The only problem is how difficult it is to get them on wihen worn with socks. Bought this for my travel trailer, with space as a premium, hanging towels on the bathroom door is a good idea. I’m buying another before the price goes back up ❤️
